In litigation

- February 28, 2025Case filed
What happened
A proposed class action against the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and other defendants, apparently alleging anticompetitive conduct related to pharmacy residency matching or employment. The docket indicates the court dismissed most claims without prejudice for failure to state a claim, dismissed claims against two defendants for lack of personal jurisdiction, and granted plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.
Do you qualify?
No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.
How to file
There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
